I had never watched this show before, but one of my good friends always would say "sheeeeeeeeeeeeiiiit" and I thought it was hilarious. I finally realized where it was from and started watching the show. Hooked immediately and watched it as fast as I watched Breaking Bad.

Man...Favorite scene from The Wire...I'd have to say it might be the one where Rawls gets screwed and stuck with the 13 homicides after McNulty faxed the tide charts to the other agencies about those dead girls in the shipping container. Can I merge that part in the homicide office with the conversation in the bar afterwards with McNulty, Lester, and Bunk? Lester: "I swear to God, Jimmy, the man stayed in his office the whole day!"

Man, i just read that the actor who played Proposition Joe, Robert F. Chew, just died a few weeks ago. Kind of cool fact, he was the acting coach for the four kids that played the roles of Michael, Randy, Dookie and Daemon., as well as the chick that played Snoop.

Nick Sobotka's house from season 2 in Locust Point was two blocks from my former house (lived there for five years).

I started watching The Wire because I lived in the city when it was on. It probably makes it even more awesome when you live there and understand just how well Simon injected the local reality into his show. When your neighbor is talking about cops and refers to them individually as "a police" it's unusual at first. Depending on which neighborhood you live in, you get some sort of variation on "Bawlmer, Merlin" as being where you live.

My favorite scene is the one where Bunk and McNulty are interrogating Cheese (underrated character) because he killed his fighting dog and hearing it on the wire they thought it was a person.

The Wire is in my top-3 favorite shows, but it's been awhile since I've seen it.

Favorite scene? I thought the part of McNaulty going undercover and ending up having sex with the prostitutes was pretty funny, but there's probably a hundred other scenes equally as good if not better. It's just a smart, badass show.

F'n awesome show! Can't even begin to pick a favorite scene. Favorite nonsense seen is the "mothereffer" scene with Bunk. Love some Bodie and Omar. Was on this show from day 1. I don't hold it in quite as high regard as the first few Sopranos seasons, but definitely one of my favorite all-time shows. Lester was a great character too. Man, I'm loving the reminiscing now, think I'm going to have to break out the DVD's and live it all again. Highly recommend the book as well.

Had to go back and find this thread to thank you guys for introducing me to this show. I remember reading this thread in passing and had never heard of the show. I now have HBO so I decided to give it a try, remembering this thread, and now it's my favorite show. I'm almost done with season 2.

This scene is just brilliant. (Warning: Language)
